Course Details

The purpose of the course is to identify the sources and products that have credit risks and credit exposures and to develop methodology and policies to detect and manage properly a portfolio of credit risks. 

 

Key Learning Outcomes:

  • Understand the products, transactions and exposures that have credit risks: loan exposure, contingent or committed risks, issuer risks, settlement risks, counterparty-credit risks
  • Identify the key elements of credit risk: expected loss, unexpected loss, probability of default, loss given default, recovery rates and exposure at default
  • Evaluate the inter-relationships of credit risks within portfolio exposures and how these can be measured and quantified—including risks related to concentration (by industries or countries), correlation and incremental exposures
  • Review how the main drivers of credit risk are modeled and sensitized; review the history and evolution of credit models (structured models, intensity models, reduced form models, e.g.)
  • Understand how credit portfolio modeling is used within firm-wide risk management and regulatory and economic capital process
  • Review certain commercial or industry-related credit models to quantify credit risks, expected loss, unexpected loss; review the advantages and disadvantages of such models
  • Review methods to mitigate and hedge credit risks—including collateral, securitization, asset sales, and credit default swaps
  • Review cases and portfolios from various banks, financial institutions

 

Target Audience:

  • Bankers, regulators and analysts involved in credit risk management, portfolio risk management and/or regulatory compliance will benefit from the sessions.  
  • The audience may include those seeking insight into the quantification of credit portfolio management, exploration of certain issues and topics (mitigation, correlation, concentration risks) and review of various approaches by banks and credit models
